Kickin’ Collard Greens

It seems fitting to me that my first post of the year is about collard greens. Growing up in the south, eating collard greens & black eyed peas on New Years is a tradition. The greens are supposed to bring you money in the new year, and the beans are supposed o bring you luck.

On New Years Day, we spent 12 hours in Graham’s truck making the drive from Charlotte to Little Rock, so we missed out on this meal on the 1st. Hopefully we’ll still have money and luck in 2013 since we pigged out on the 2nd =)

(I’m going to post the recipe for blackeyed peas next week, and you can find the cornbread recipe here).
